Product Marketing Manager

Akia is a company focused on revolutionizing the hospitality industry through AI technology. They are seeking a Product Marketing Manager to define positioning, messaging, and go-to-market strategies for their AI agent, collaborating closely with senior leadership and the sales team to effectively communicate Akia's value to the market.

Responsibilities:

• Own how Akia talks about itself — from the website to the pitch deck to the one-liner a sales rep uses on a cold call
• Define and maintain the core messaging framework and keep it sharp as the product and market evolve
• Lead GTM for product launches, feature releases, and new market segments
• Coordinate across product, sales, and leadership to make sure launches land with the right audience and the right story
• Track the AI and hospitality landscape obsessively
• Know what competitors are saying, where the market is heading, and where Akia's differentiation is strongest
• Turn that into actionable intel — battlecards, positioning updates, internal briefings
• Give the sales team what they need to close
• That means case studies, one-pagers, demo narratives, objection handling guides, and the data to back it all up
• Talk to customers regularly
• Understand their buying journey, what convinced them, and the results they're seeing
• Package that into case studies, ROI narratives, and proof points that make Akia's value concrete
• Pull and leverage data to quantify customer outcomes, validate market trends, and build business cases
